Hamsters love rolling around in the sand, for them it’s like showering. How would you feel without a shower?

You can use those little baths as toilets, but you still need a bigger sand bath!

Better:

8. Hamsters need a house with at least 2 or more chambers to store food, sleep etc. Also make sure that your hamster does have enough hiding places like coconuts, small houses, toilet rolls!

9. Do use unperfumed toilet paper for nesting material, don’t use “hamster wool” -> it can tangle around a limb and seriously hurt and even kill your hamster!

NOT like this:

10. Never ever ever put your hamster or any animal in a hamster ball.

They can’t get out, might suffocate or panic, might run against furniture and seriously injure themselves. The ventilation is terrible, your hamster can’t see/smell/hear enough or use any of their senses properly.

In some countries they even discuss about banning those by law!

Even if you think that “your hamster has fun in it” - please don’t use them!

Pet stores often are very misinformed and sell terrible cages and have little to no idea how to keep a happy hamster - please be careful when trusting them. In the end they often just want to make money - and the hamsters suffer.

Please adopt, not buy hamsters - there are too many hamsters in this world that we need any more breeding.
